I know but who would you put on it. There is a distinct possibility that most would be gone in a year or 2

We could just have the team logo, over a shot of GLF, if nothing else.

Who would you guys predict would be on our banner in 3 years, if we can find someone to change it by then? Pick 4 names.

I will go with Huff, Jung, Story and Leiter.

As good a list as any.

For the record, I'm a designer by trade, so it would be no trouble at all for me to pull something together.

If they let what they gave up for Lowe make their decision for them, then they are using the same logic that kept Odor starting too long.

Evan Grant says they are making their decision about who is starting at 1B, based on their prior evaluation of Lowe. The Rays evaluated and decided to trade him. I put a lot more stock in how the Rays evaluate players, for now.

If they mess this up and end up losing Guzman, and then have Guzman become our next Adrian Gonzalez, that would make for an infamous set of bookends for JD's tenure here.
Actually the article makes light of his questionable defense at 1st so putting him at 3rd might not be a good idea unless he’s stroking like David Ortiz...

This is how I think it should be.

What part of his defense at 1B were they referring to?

The article doesn't really say but he's slower than my Grandma who is dead so I would have to think it's his range they have an issue with...

Would he be worse than Michael Young was at 3B, when he was dubbed the Lawn Gnome?

Between Lowe being slow and kinda "storky" (tall) I just don't see him at 3B :noidea:

When I was in Texas one of my 3B was a "Corn fed Boy", huge, barrel chested, slow, could hit the ball a mile. Anyway he usually played in on the grass daring guys to hit it bye him. Once in awhile they would manage to but most of the time he found a way to knock the ball down with some part of his body and throw the guy out. One day I seen him come out of the showers at the gym and was amazed at how many bruises were on his body, it hurt me just looking at him... :omg:

:pound:

Could we have JD on the banner?

Maybe he and Odor both as a reminder to not make such dumb contracts ever again.
We would have to include the horses too.

I think Odors issue was he hit 30 some HRs that one season and that gave him "big head", that's the reason he fell off so much... :noidea:
